Lemesurieri's wife, in her first testimony, said that she had been sleeping at around 4pm and was awake after hearing the door knock and seeing her husband's corpse after being warned by people around.
The cause of the former English agent's death will be revealed after investigations are completed.
The Prefecture of Istanbul also made a statement on the matter, and announced the launch of an extensive administrative and criminal investigation.
